    FEATURED ARTIST

    Larva Labs

    Larva Labs is the creative duo of Matt Hall and John Watkinson, technologists and artists known for pioneering blockchain-based art projects including CryptoPunks, Autoglyphs, and Meebits. Meeting as computer science students in the 1990s, they founded Larva Labs in 2005 and have since explored code as their medium, creating work that blends technical challenge with collective experimentation.

    Their projects have become touchstones in the history of digital art, entering permanent collections at the Centre Pompidou the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Miami, and ZKM Karlsruhe, among others. Larva Labs has been featured in major exhibitions worldwide and spoken at institutions such as MIT Media Lab, Stanford, and Art Basel Miami, but they describe themselves simply as "two guys working on computers."
